Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / October 2006Strangeness with headlights/radio backlight-2005 Sentra
Hello I have a problem with a 2005 Sentra SE-R Spec V I just bought (used). Whenever I turn on the headlights, the radio backlight turns completely off. When I turn off the headlights, the radio backlight turns on. It's the stock radio, and I haven't seen any other electrical problems. Anyone have any ideas? Regards, Steve Is the dashboard light dimmer set to a minimum? > Hello > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Steve This problem happens regardless of where the dashboard light dimmer is set. I'm wondering if there are a couple of wires that are crossed somewhere...any ideas on what area of the dash wiring to focus on?

Because on many Nissans the taillights and instrument panel lights are wired through the same fuse.

None of the other lights on the interior or exterior of the car are burned out. Any other suggestions on this one? I'm stumped. -Steve > Because on many Nissans the taillights and instrument panel lights are wired > through the same fuse.

I've replaced the original radios for a more expensive, more features radio, and then reinstalled the original when turned in or sold. Perhaps when reinstalling the original radio, the previous owner took a shortcut on reinstalling, or did not use use wiring adapter plugs for the newer radio, and just cut and joined the wiring, not bothering to check whether the wiring connections were correct.
